Bug Description
I am using Ubuntu 13.10 64bits.
When I drag and drop a folder from my primary internal hard drive to my second internal hard drive that contains a folder containing files with the same name than in the source folder, Nautilus prompts "Merge folder "folder1"?".
I check "Apply this action to all files" and click "Merge".
And now, Nautilus overwrites files with the same name in the destination folder instead of prompting me if I want to skip copying existing files.
I have the same problem when copying a folder to an external hard drive.
This problem doesn't occur in Ubuntu 12.10 that I was using a few days ago before upgrading to 13.10. It doesn't occur neither when merging folders on the same hard drive. It only happens when the source folder and the destination folder are on two different hard drives.
